This is Shacklewell Lane.On the corner of Shacklewell Lane, London E8, where Kingsland curves into Hackney this advertisement for Boyd Pianos has long remained. Peeling wallpaper from a time past. And then overnight this graffiti/art arrived. I believe it is Fidel Castro who made his first official appearance in four years yesterday, warning of the threat of nuclear war.
The very modern advertisment above is for the Pekünlü mini-market where I often shop.
This looks fantastic - I love the contrast between the old and the modern meaning, decay and vitality. So emblematic of our perceptions of Cuba...
